I'm blasting my PC tomorrow and installing Windows 7 which, by the way, wasn't my idea (I bloody hate that advert). It should be straightforward but it never is with these things. I know I will forget to save the things I really need to keep before I say goodbye to Vista forever then ZAP it is in the lap of the gods whether or not I will emerge triumphant to haunt the internet once again.

If the worse should happen, I just want you all to know that I will nearly remember some of you. That is all

Never, never, never, never. They were forced on me in the past (an office full of Macs, ugh), but now I have freedom, a choice, a voice (sort of). Kids, just say no to Macs

Good to see old age hasn't affected the eyesight as yet. But if you're in anyway unsure I can arrange for a copy of the post to be sent to you in braille?

I wouldn't use anything else for DTP but for home use? Nope, the kind of Mac I'd need to do the same things I do on PC would just be too expensive. I have nothing against Macs at all really I just think they're still not viable for home use just yet. The good ones are far too pricey.

My son has a Mac..cost over a grand...but then he uses it for music making..so is appropriate I guess!

You do know there are ways you can make your PC think it's a Mac for certain things don't you? A bit of messing about with programs and settings and stuff.

And what's all this 96 gubbins? You shut your face

EDIT: That was for the mardy Promeefeus btw.

but they last you such a long time. I've had my iMac since 07 and I have never needed to upgrade it with new software, and it still runs just as fast as the day i got it

Once you go Mac, you never go back

Er, there's nothing a Mac can do that my PC can't I don't need to fool it into anything. Macs are just better designed for DTP and are slowly and I mean slowly branching out into everything else.

For over a grand you could get a PC that would do literally anything. That's my big problem with Macs. You're paying way over the odds just because it is a Mac. Back when Windows was really crap (and PC's too for that matter) it all made more sense, it doesn't now.
